Cinematography
Refers to how big or small the frame is in relation to the subject.
Camera shot size
One of the most common shot sizes in cinema.
Close-up
It shows nothing more than the character’s eyes.
Extreme close-up
It shows the subject from their head to their waist.
Medium/Mid shot
It shows the character’s entire body in frame, from their head to their toes.
Long shot
It is where the character is so far away they’re nearly lost in the frame or obscured by their surroundings.
Extreme long shot
It depends on how many people are in it.
Single, two, three-shot
This is used when you want the viewer to see what the character is seeing or feel what they’re feeling.
Point of View (POV) Shot
It can help you create a sense of fear, empathy, or disorientation in the viewer.
Camera Angle
The camera points straight ahead at about the same level as the subject’s face.
Eye-Level
It is one of the most common ways to convey disorientation.
Dutch
It adds some subjectivity to the scene. Instead of facing straight ahead, the camera looks up at the subject from a low angle.
Low-Angle
It creates the opposite impression, and makes the subject of the camera seem small.
High Angle
This shot looks down on the character from above and can be used indoors or outdoors.
Top Angle/ Bird’s eye view
